Quote:Las Vegas shooting: man charged with selling bullets to killer.
Rounds had fingerprints from Douglas Haig, 55, of Mesa, Arizona, as well as marks from tools
he used to make ammunition that he illegally sold, say police.
Douglas Haig.
'A man suspected of selling armour-piercing bullets to the Las Vegas gunman who killed 58 people at a music festival has been charged with conspiracy to manufacture and sell the ammunition without a licence.
Douglas Haig, 55, of Mesa, Arizona, is the first person arrested and charged in connection with the 1 October massacre, which ranks as the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history.
The gunman, Stephen Paddock, strafed a crowd of concert-goers from his highrise suite at the Mandalay Bay hotel, then killed himself before police stormed his room. No clear motive for the massacre has been determined.
According to the criminal complaint against Haig, filed in US district court in Phoenix, he met with Paddock on more than one occasion, including once at Haig’s home the month before the shooting to sell ammunition to Paddock, the US attorney’s office in Las Vegas said.
It said Haig previously ran an internet business selling armour-piercing bullets –some consisting of high-explosive and incendiary rounds –throughout the United States but lacked a licence to manufacture the ammunition.
Haig is charged with a single count of conspiracy to manufacture and sell armour-piercing ammunition, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, according to the statement.
Prosecutors said Haig’s fingerprints were found on some of the unfired high-calibre rounds at the crime scene and that armour-piercing casings recovered from Paddock’s hotel room bore tool marks matching the “reloading” equipment they said Haig used to assemble ammunition cartridges.
Haig made an initial court appearance before a federal magistrate in Phoenix and was freed under conditional release pending a 15 February status conference set for the case, prosecutors said. In addition to the 58 people killed by Paddock in the Las Vegas massacre, nearly 500 people were injured, some by gunfire, others trampled or otherwise hurt while running for cover.
Police said Paddock had equipped 12 of the weapons found in his room with bump-stock devices that enable semi-automatic rifles to be fired like fully automatic machine guns...'
Mr. Haig had an internet business selling armour-piercing bullets and high-explosive rounds throughout the USA and was only
nailed now, because of the Vegas shootings? I would've thought that the acquistion of materials and manufacturing of such
dangerous ammunition may have been better monitored after the Sandy Hook incident.
I think I'm with the right crowd to ask this question... If someone shoots them self in the head with a .357, wouldn't that leave a pretty big exit hole in the back of the head?
According to the autopsy report on Paddock, there was no exit wound.

According to the autopsy report on Paddock, there was no exit wound.
From a quick glance, the occipital part of the brain is at the lower-back with the dura being the soft layers
between the skull and the brain. Paddock's autopsy report says he shot himself in the mouth and the bullet
travelled through the skull and came to rest at the occipital bone area.
I'm not a firearms expert, so is it that the projectile failed to exit Paddock's skull due to being a 'copper-jacketed,
gray metal' bullet or was it that the weapon used for the suicide wasn't powerful enough?
The list of firearms reportedly discovered in the hotel room:
Fourteen .223-caliber AR-15-type assault rifles
Seven .308-caliber AR-10-type rifles
One .308-caliber Ruger American bolt-action rifle
One .38-caliber Smith & Wesson Model 342 revolver. SOURCE:
Ah-ha! I knew if I stepped back someone would finally come forward with the truth, and now they have.
Thank you for your bravery in spreading the truth.
Quote:The “official” narrative you’ve been fed by the FBI and Las Vegas officials about the massacre at Mandalay Bay that claimed 58 lives is purely fiction, a polished story contrived to cover up the disturbing facts surrounding the worst mass shooting ever in the United States, according the FBI insiders and high-ranking intelligence officials.
And now, after months of corporate-infused spin by MGM Resorts and outright lies from officials in the FBI and the Las Vegas Metro Police Department, federal agents and intelligence officials are spilling the beans about what really happened on and before the Oct. 1 massacre.
“It’s a movie script that was written after the shooting to rewrite what really happened,” one FBI agent said. “The investigation is an entirely different story that we are not allowed to talk about. If we do and get caught, we get fired and probably charged (criminally).”
But why the cover up?
The answer to that is perhaps even more complicated than the revelations surrounding the shooting, which can only be explained as shocking and troubling to everyday Americans not connected to the law enforcement community and political machine that has become today’s FBI. While few if any bright Americans believed the official back story of the supposed Stephen Paddock rampage, the truth — it turns out — is even more bizarre than fiction here.
In fact, it’s downright frightening.
The FBI maintains that Stephen Paddock — the reported lone gunman — was a mystery man and his motive for killing dozens and injuring over 500 people still has not been pinpointed. Those assertions are simply untrue, FBI officials confirm. Lies. In the coming weeks, True Pundit will detail various parts of its investigation into the shooting and more importantly, paint a detailed portrait of the events leading to the shooting and Paddock’s likely accomplices and associates.
Here is recently released video of the officers in the Mandalay Bay Hotel. It took them long enough, and what they DID release doesn't show anything to answer our questions.
Quote:Recent documents released regarding the the October 1, 2017 Las Vegas Shooting are beginning to shed light on more discrepancies and abnormalities surrounding the official timeline and narrative of the tragedy as originally stated by Sheriff Joe Lombardo and Special Agent Aaron Rouse of the Las Vegas FBI , including documentation that three women were found in the alleged shooter's room.
The most recent batch of documents that were released include witness reports, dispatch logs, and officer reports that recount the events that took place that night and further reveal that Paddock was not alone in his room as was was first stated by Sheriff Lombardo.
Page 26 of the dispatch logs that were released by LVMPD details the moments when the alleged shooter, Stephen Paddock, was located by a security detail at the Mandalay Bay. As actions were taken to assemble a team of officers to apprehend the suspect, a dispatcher shared the name of the alleged shooter located in Room 32-135, along with three females that were reported to be in the room with Mr. Paddock. However, the names of those three women are redacted from the report, while the checkout date listed for the women aligns with Paddock’s planned check out date of October 2, 2017. In the log, as seen on page 26, the following was documented as having taken place at 11: 02 pm the night of the shooting when police breached Paddock's room. "Units in control room 32 135. Suspect name of K(P)addock, Stephen. There three females in room."
The three women are then listed at #1, #2, and #3, with their check in and check out dates, but their names are redacted from the log. "Checked on (in) on 9-25 scheduled to check out Oct 2nd."
Shocking details such a the one above are found all throughout the nearly 2000 documents that were released following a court order after The Associated Press and additional media outlets had to sue the LVMPD for the release of this information, information that the public has the right to see, as there are many questions left unanswered due to communication shut down by Sheriff Joe Lombardo of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

I hope this coverup doesn't take as long as JFK and 9/11 are taking to uncover.
Did anyone catch what it said in that report I posted above? No one found this important?

There were 3 women in the room when the police entered!!!!

Laura Loomer has been diving deep into this shooting from the start, and she hasn't let up just because it faded from the MSM.
She has discovered that there were three women in the room with Stephen Paddock, and she has their names.
Quote:In the recent weeks of the document releases for the October 1 Las Vegas Shooting investigation, I exclusively reported that revealed Stephen Paddock had three additional guests registered to his room at the Mandalay Bay when he allegedly committed mass murder from the 32nd floor of his suite, murdering 58, and leaving more than 800 injured as they fled the concert venue and rapid gunfire.
The report showed the entry in the dispatch log released by LVMPD that three females were registered to Paddock’s rooms. The names of the females were redacted in the dispatch log report. The most recent document release from the LVMPD this week provides more insight on who these guests were.
On Tuesday, July 3rd, the LVMPD scheduled document issue consisted of 3 body camera videos and 34 audio files. When first listening to the audio, you would assume that it is 911 call recordings, as it is chronicled with a constant time and date stamp interruption that matches the time and date stamp logs from all 911 audio recently released. It is also recorded in a call list of 39 recordings.
However, both this audio and the files from the previous week’s release are recorded radio traffic with the 911 dispatcher’s time and date stamp interrupting the broadcast continuously. This week’s release included over 19 hours total of radio traffic with the continuous recording of the time and date stamp occurring on average approximately every 10 seconds or so.
This constant interruption proves to be a challenge while trying to listen to this radio traffic, and it is not plausible that this would be how it would be logged or recorded internally with the LVMPD, or with the contracted service that hosts the audio files.
Despite the challenges presented in sorting through this audio, I was able to identify the radio traffic that matches with the dispatch log showing the three female guests whose names were redacted on the dispatch logs.

The following excerpt can be heard with a time/date stamp of October 1 at 23:00:57 hours:
THREE women were registered guests of Stephen Paddock
“I’ve got a couple units up in the control room, and they’re briefing on the 32nd floor, room 135. Possible suspect, ID, gonna be last name Easy-Adam-David-David-Ocean-Charlie-King, first name Stephen with a PH. That is who the room is registered to, Break.”
(23:01:20) “There is also three females that are registered to that room. First Name, Joanne, J-o-a-n-n-e, last name REDACTED, 2nd subject, Laura, last name, REDACTED, 3rd subject Katie”
(23:01:49) “Katie, last name, REDACTED, checked in on 25 September, scheduled to check out on October 2nd.”
It does appear in this broadcast that the last name of Paddock was misrepresented based on the phonetic alphabet usage of the letter “E” in place of a “P.” All other information seems to line up with what was reported to be found in the room registration prior to the breach of room 135.
The additional confirmation of these female guests in Paddock’s room not only still leaves many questions unanswered; it brings forth even more questions and greater speculation on the investigation.
Prior to these names being released, it was left a mystery as to who these additional people may be. The LVMPD nor the FBI has given any indication that there are persons of interest being investigated, in particular, any additional parties that were registered to the rooms.
There are no witness reports provided thus far that show evidence of interviews with these three identified females, or any supporting evidence at all that they were even investigated or detained.
There was absolutely zero mention of the additional three female guests in the FIT investigation report that was released by the LVMPD in January.
Sheriff Joe Lombardo has empathetically stated that he nor anyone in his department will be providing any interviews or answering any additional questions regarding the Las Vegas Shooting investigation, despite appearing in a “Town Hall” meeting that recently aired June 26th on the local Las Vegas news channel 3 KNSV NBC affiliate. This was promoted as a Town Hall live event, although it was recorded earlier that day and no additional media or public were permitted inside.
During this two-on-one interview hosted by Channel 3 in Las Vegas, Lombardo did reference Marilou Danley, stating there are still some outstanding questions regarding her actions. However, he did not elaborate what those questions were, or if they could possibly lead to any charges. There was no mention of any additional parties that were under investigation at all, and still no mention of any other females registered to Stephen Paddock’s rooms.
Given the events of that night, the number of weapons and ammunition found in the room, and the ongoing evidence that does support there were others involved in this massacre, the public has a right to know what actions have been taken to identify these females and if they have been investigated.
Who are Joanne, Laura, and Katie? How did they know Paddock? Are they relatives? Where were they during and after the shooting? What were their actions leading up to the night of the shooting? Why were they not disclosed in the LVMPD FIT investigation report? Why does Lombardo and the FBI seem to be hiding this information by omission?
Quote:Police investigating the October 2017 deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas said they've been able to answer the "who, what, when, where and how" of the massacre, but as the end of the probe was announced on Friday, officials still could not explain the "why."
"The goal of our investigation all along was to provide the public with the clearest picture possible of the events leading up to Oct. 1, as well as motive," Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo told reporters at news conference. "What we have not been able to definitively answer is the 'Why Stephen Paddock committed this act?'" he said.
You can read the rest of this article by clicking on the title, if you wish. As for me, I can't stomach the lies they are still feeding the public. It's another 9-11, one of those things they may never tell the truth about. Sickening!
Quote:Nov. 30 (UPI) -- The Justice Department said Friday it's paid nearly $17 million from a federal fund to victims of last year's Las Vegas shooting attack.
The Oct. 1, 2017, assault killed 58 people and injured more than 600 others at the Route 91 country music festival. Gunman Stephen Paddock opened fire from his suite on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino, which overlooked the event on the south end of Las Vegas Boulevard.
The department said money from the Anti-terrorism and Emergency Assistance Program will help pay for counseling, therapy, rehabilitation and legal aid. Anyone who was at the scene of the shooting happened is eligible for compensation.
The department has also awarded a grant worth nearly $9 million to provide multi-disciplinary, scenario-based active shooter training to first responders in the United States. About $2 million was given to first responders immediately after the shooting last year.
"This Department of Justice stands with our first responders and victims of crime," Acting U.S. Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said. "We have already provided $3 million to cover expenses for state and local law enforcement in Las Vegas and in Clark County.
"While we cannot under the harm that has been done, this Department of Justice is doing what we can to help Las Vegas heal."
Las Vegas police said Paddock fired an AR-15 assault rifle at the crowd for more than 10 minutes before he shot himself as officers closed in. The Los Angeles Post Examiner reported Thursday that Las Vegas was required to have 20 rifle-certified police officers present at events like the Route 91 concert -- but it's unclear how many carried their rifles the night of the attack or why the weapons were left in police cars.
The truth behind this will come out someday. It has to. Just like 9-11, it will be a 'hard pill to swallow', but the public needs to know the truth so we can never allow something like this to happen again.
I've seen articles that provided evidence that this was supposed to be much worse than it was, but something happened and they had to leave it where it was. Thank goodness!
And in the end the survivors are paid a nice settlement of cash. Can you put an amount of money on the life of a loved one?
What a tragedy.
Many people lost their lives, but some were also crisis actors, in my opinion. Wonder how much they were paid (to keep their mouth shut)?
Quote:Survivors and family of 58 people who were slain in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history have reached a settlement of at least $735 million with MGM Resorts, a law firm representing the victims and MGM Resorts International said on Thursday.
MGM Resorts owns the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas where Stephen Paddock, 64, fired over 1,100 rounds from his 32nd-floor suite into a crowd of 22,000 people at an outdoor country music festival on Oct. 1, 2017, slaying 58 and wounding 800 others before killing himself.
"While nothing will be able to bring back the lives lost or undo the horrors so many suffered on that day, this settlement will provide fair compensation for thousands of victims and their families," Robert Eglet, a lead counsel representing some 2,500 plaintiffs in the case, said in a statement.
The total settlement amount might rise to $800 million, depending on how many claimants choose to participate, according to the law firm Eglet Adams.
"Our goal has always been to resolve these matters so our community and the victims and their families can move forward in the healing process. This agreement with the plaintiffs' counsel is a major step, and one that we hoped for a long time would be possible," Jim Murren, chairman and chief executive of MGM Resorts said in a statement.
